Zech. xii. 10. And I will pour upon the House of David, and upon the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, the SPIRIT of Grace and of Supplications, and they shall look upon him whom they have PIERCED. In what manner we are to present our Supplications. Matt. vi. 5. When thou PRAYEST, thou shalt not be as the HYPOCRITES are: for they love to PRAY standing in the Synagogues, and in the Corners of the Streets, that they may be seen of Men. Verily, I say unto you, they HAVE their REWARD. 6. But thou, when thou PRAYEST, enter into thy Closet, and when thou hast shut thy Door, PRAY to thy Father which is in SECRET, and thy Father which SEETH in SECRET, shall reward thee openly. 7. When ye PRAY, use not VAIN REPETITIONS, as the Heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what Things you have need of, before you ASK him. 9. After this manner therefore PRAY ye: Dur Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. 10. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done in Earth as it is in Weaven... 11. Give us this Day our daily Bread. 12. And forgive us our Debts, as we forgive our Debters. 13. And lead us not into Temptation, but deliver us from Evil: for thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever. Amen. Chap. vii. 7. Ask, and it shall be GIVEN YOU: SEEK, and ye shall FIND: KNOCK, and it shall be OPENED unto you. こ 8. For every one that ASKETH, RECEIVETH and he that SEEKETH, FINDETH: and to him that KNOCKETH, it shall be OPENED. 9. What Man is there of you, whom if his Son ask BREAD, will he give him a STONE ? 10. Or if he ask a FISH, will he give him a SER PENT? 11. If ye then being EVIL, know how to give GOOD GIFTS unto your Children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give * GOOD THINGS to them that ASK him? : Chap, xviii. 19. I fay unto you, that if two of you shall agree on Earth, as touching any thing that they shall ASK, it shall be DONE for them of my Father which is in Heaven, : Chap. xxi. 22. All Things whatsoever ye shall ASK in PRAYER, BELIEVING, ye shall RECEIVE. Mark xi. 24. I say unto you, what Things foever ye DESIRE when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them. : Luke xviii. 1. And he spake a Parable unto this End, that Men ought always to PRAY, and not to FAINT; 2. Saying, there was in a City a Judge, which FEARED not GOD, neither REGARDED Man; 3. And there was a Widow in that City, and the came unto him, faying, Avenge me of mine ADVER SARY. The HOLY SPIRIT. 4. And 4 And he would not for a while, but afterward he faid within himself, though I fear not GOD, nor regard Man; 5. Yet because this Widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, left by her continual coming the weary me. 6. And the LORD faid, Hear what the unjust Judge saith. 7. And shall not GOD AVENGE his own ELECT, which CRY Day and Night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8. I tell you that he will avenge them fpeedily.G 9. And he spake this Parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Sittata 10. Two Men went up into the Temple to PRAY, the one a Pharifce, and the other a Publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and PRAYED thus with hime self; GOD, I thank thee, that I am not as other Men are, EXTORTIONERS, UNJUST, Adulterers, or even as this Publican. : 12. I FAST twice in the Week, I give TITHES of all that I poffefs. 13. And the Publican standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his Eyes unto Heaven; but fmote upon his Breast, saying, God be merciful to me a Sin 14. I tell you, this Man went down to his House JUSTIFIED rather than the other: for every one that EXALTETH himself shall be ABASED; and he that HUMBLETH himself, shall be EXALTED. Chap. xx. 46. Beware of the Scribes, 47. Which devour Widows Houses, and for a SHEW make LONG PRAYERS, the same shall receive greater DAMNATION. Chap. xxi. 36. WATCH ye therefore, and PRAY always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these these Things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the SON OF MAN. Chap. xxii. 40. And when he was at the Place, he said, PRAY that ye enter not into TEMPTATION. 46. And he said, Why sleep ye? rise and PRAY, lest ye enter into TEMPTATION. John iv. 23. The Hour COMETH, and NOW IS, when the true Worshippers shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and in TRUTH: for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. 24. GOD is a SPIRIT, and they that WORSHIP him, must WORSHIP him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Chap. ix. 31. Now we know that GOD HEARETH, not SINNERS: but if any Man be a WORSHIPPER OF GOD, and doth his WILL, him he HEARETH. : Chap. xiv. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I Do, that the Father may be GLORIFIED in the Son. 1 14. If ye shall Ask any thing in my Name, I will DO IT. : 4 ???? ?? d? : Chap. xv. 7. If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be DONE unto you.:. Chap. xvi. 23. Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall Ask the FATHER in my Name, he will give it you. 24. Ask, and ye shall RECEIVE, that your Jor may be full. 26. At that Day ye shall Ask in my Name: and I say not unto you, that I will PRAY the Father for you. र Acts 3 : T Atts x. 1. There was a certain Man called Cornelius, 2 Centurion of the Band called the Italian, 2. A devout Man, and one that FEARED GOD, with all his House, which gave much ALMS to the People, and PRAYED to God alway. : 30. And Cornelius said, Four Days ago I was FASTING until this Hour, and at the ninth Hour I PRAYED in my House, and behold, a Man stood before me in BRIGHT CLOTHING; 31. And faid, Cornelius, thy PRAYER is HEARD, and thine ALMS are had in REMEMBRANCE in the Sight of GOD. Chap. xii. 5. Peter was kept in Prison, but PRAYER was made without ceasing of the Church unto GOD for him. Chap. xvi. 13. And on the Sabbath we went out of the City by a River side, where PRAYER was wont to be made. : Chap. xxi. 5. And we departed, and went our Way, with Wives and Children, till we were out of the City; and we KNEELED down on the Shore, and PRAYED. Rom. viii. 26. The SPIRIT also helpeth our INFIRMITIES: for we know not what we should PRAY for as we ought; but the SPIRIT itself maketh INTERCESSION for us, with GROANINGS which cannot be uttered. Chap. x. 12. There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the fame LORD over all, is RICH untoall that CALL upon him. 13. For whosoever shall CALL upon the Name of the LORD, shall be SAVED. 14. How then shall they CALL on him, in whom they have not BELIEVED? Chap. |
